Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) will remain on the shelf for Tuesday's clash with the Timberwolves. The injury-prone forward will sit out a ninth game in a row with a right hamstring strain. With Orlando short of options, Caleb Houstan started the last game against Atlanta, and Chuma Okeke has also recently seen a major boost in playing time. Isaac will have his next chance to return on Friday versus Miami.

Orlando Magic forward Joe Ingles (ankle) has been ruled out for a 12th consecutive game ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Minnesota. He's nearing a month-long absence, having last played on Dec. 15 against Boston. Caleb Houstan has received a larger role in the rotation without Ingles and even started Sunday versus Atlanta with Franz Wagner (ankle) also missing. He had a great game with 25 points, but Houstan's efforts have been inconsistent, and he faces a much better defense on Tuesday, so the 20-year-old could easily leave fantasy managers disappointed.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) will miss a third consecutive game on Tuesday against Minnesota. The veteran strained his right calf a week ago and still needs more time off to be able to play again. With Harris out, Cole Anthony has logged over 30 minutes in back-to-back games. He's done a good job in a bench role all season, posting 14.3 points with 4.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists. The team also had Markelle Fultz back on the court last time out, although his playing time was capped at 15 minutes, and he was clearly rusty.

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry sprained his left hand in Monday's matchup against Houston and was limited to only 16 minutes on the court. The veteran exited the game in the third quarter and finished with six points, two rebounds, one assist, and two blocks. Miami returns to action on Wednesday against Oklahoma City, and it looks like the team could be without another option, with Jimmy Butler (foot) and Caleb Martin (ankle) having already missed multiple games. Jaime Jaquez Jr. has started to see massive minutes with all the injuries, while Josh Richardson and Duncan Robinson are also heavily used off the bench.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (knee) isn't expected to play in Tuesday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. The 22-year-old has averaged a career-high 10.4 points and 5.5 rebounds this season. However, he's battled various ailments, including an ankle injury that kept him out to begin the 2023-24 campaign. Under normal circumstances, Aldama's potential absence wouldn't mean much to fantasy managers. But with Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) questionable, Aldama could see enough minutes to make him relevant. At any rate, if both players are ruled out, David Roddy, Xavier Tillman Sr., and Bismack Biyombo could handle nearly all of the minutes underneath the basket.
